1960s and 70s drive-in movie days. I'll have to get out a few old issues of Famous Monsters and relive the old days....again. RIP Sir.

NO!

Just Damn.

Lee was the only cast member of “Lord Of The Rings” who actually KNEW Tolkien.

A legend has passed.

He made you hate his character... a testament to his presentation of it.

RIP Mr. Lee.

Rest in peace, Sir Christopher. I’ve just read that he was perhaps the most prolific actor in screen history, racking up more than 275 films. I’ve also read that it was said, he was the only Lord of the Rings actor who had actually met the author, J. R. R. Tolkien.

While I am not often drawn to the dark side, he made it his life’s study. He delved into many roles few actors dare to pursue.

Lee has lived a long and very productive life in both movies and live theater. This is not a time for mourning, but a time to celebrate his innumerable artistic achievements.

... and God bless him for his courage in serving in World War II. I hear he suffered greatly from the horrors he witnessed.

A multi-talented man who had an amazing career. Saw him in an episode of the Avengers just a couple of weeks ago on Cozi tv.

Spotted him the other night, uncredited I think, in some goofy pirate movie with Burt Lancaster. The Crimson Pirate I think. Man he was in a lot of movies

RIP. I always liked him in the (original) Wicker Man and many other roles.

I have a Sherlock Holmes dictionary.

The forward was written by Lee. I have read that he was an expert on Holmes.

I liked him as Count Dooku. One of the few positives in the Star Wars preaquels.
